Frome Festival – 25 for 25
Since 2001, Frome Festival’s mission has been to bring together our local community and celebrate Frome’s unique artistic spirit. We’ve worked closely with creatives across our town and beyond to deliver accessible arts activities for all ages, abilities and interests every July. Frome Festival 2025 included 278 events in 56 venues across the town, featuring concerts, shows, workshops, exhibitions and activities leading to over 30,000 engagements.
As we prepare for Frome Festival’s 25th anniversary in 2026, we’re celebrating a quarter of a century of being at the heart of Frome’s creative community whilst securing the future of this unique local arts programme. So, we’re launching 25 for 25 – a fundraising drive to raise £25,000 before Frome Festival 2026 launches on Friday 3rd July 2026.
And we need your help.
